Fatah al-Islam member Fadi Ibrahim, better known as Sikamo, has reportedly confessed that the al-Qaida inspired group was behind the assassinations of Maj. Gen. Francois Haj and MP Walid Eido.
The daily Al-Akhbar said Friday that Sikamo told interrogators that Fatah Islam”s new leader Abdul Rahman Awad had informed him that a Fatah Islam cell had carried out the assassination of Hajj to revenge his role in the Nahr al-Bared battle.
Sikamo also confessed that Abdel Ghani Jawhar killed Eido in Beirut”s Manara neighborhood in 2007.
Lebanese army commander Gen. Jean Qahwaji had recently said the military institution has obtained the names of "some" of those directly involved in the bombings that were carried out in recent years.
